A Family of Squatters Causing Cone siderable Trouble—A Small As- signment—District Court— Capital City News. oy, Neb, March 27.—(Special to Tme Ber.| -Last evening J., Z. Briscoe, the nom- ince of the prohibition party for mayor of Lincoln, handed in his declination of the oftice to City Clerk VauDuyn, in accordance with the provisions of the Australian bullot system. Considerable prossure has beeun brought to bear upon Mr. Brisoce to with- draw from the fight in favor of Mr. Weir, the nomince of the independents, and also the head of the citizens’ eicket. It 1s now gonerally conceded in political circles that the fieht lies betweon Mr, Alexander and Mr. Weir. Both gentlemen stand high in business circles, and the issue drawn be- tween them will simply be one of general policy. 1t is believed that Mr, Weir will endeavor to conduct the affairs of thecity on @ very conservative basis, that the saloons and houses of prostitution will be held to the same strict accountability that Mr. Sawjer attempted; while it Is belioved that Mr. Alexonder will regulate these ap- parently necessary ovils as Mayor Graham has successfully prac The following decli a%'ons wero also re- ceived last evening by the city clerk from nominees of the independent convention : Thomas E. Stevens, water commissioner; M. Grace, chairman of the board of public works : M. L. Easterday, city_elerk; W, G. Foutze, excise board, and A. J. attorney. None of these vacancies have filied. ty con WIO WILL BE CHOSEN JUDans? The passagge of the bill making Lancaster county a judicial district by itself and in- creasing the judges tothree {s stirring things up among the lawyers in the city. ~One of the new judges 10 be appointed will be a republican and one will bea democrat and tho rub is as to who shall be the lucky men It is stated today that Governor Boyd has Gecided to 1gnors entirely all the petitions pre- sonted to him and leave it eotirely with the bar association to select whom they preferand then to appomnt the association’s selections. Tomake theso selections a meeting of the bar association will bo held, and as all the lawyers in the city are tp in politics it will ben lively gathering. 5. J. Tutile, A. S. Tebbetts ana A. J. Sawyer are prominently mentioned for the democratic selections, while W. H. Woodward, A. R. Talbot, Rob- ert Ryan and C, L. Hall are mentioned us re- publican candidates, and Mr. W. S. Hamil- 1on has today announced himself in the field. A prominent. attorney states that from pres- ©entappearances there would be atleast a dozen candidates for the republican selection before tomorrow moon, MAD ASSIGNMENT, Sam D, Leland, wholesale cigar dealer at BOS I street, made a voluntary assignment for the benefit of his_creditors, to Sheriff McClay this morning. The matter will come up in county court, shortly, and a permanent mssignee named, No statement of assets and Liabilities bas yet been filed, as the stock has not been invoiced. The assignment was made necessary because of poor collections, and the fact that he was doing too much bus: fness on his capital. Mr. Leland is very popular in Lincoln, in fact all over the state, Bud his many friends hope he will come out all right in the end. A (OOL PROCEEDING, About ten days ago ono Joe Greenawalt, who bears the reputation of being rattier shiftless, concluded to move, and with his wife and two sieily little children started to find a house. They had nothing to move save what they wore, and while going along Zstreot they discovered the doorof 926 which house is oceupied by a family nawed Grossbeck, was open, and without waiting for an_invitation walked iu, and asked to ba allowed to stay over night. The Grossbecks ‘were poor in this ‘world’s goods, but rich in human kindness, and gave the visitors shel- ter, When the nextday came the Greena- waits made no move todepart, and as a matter of fact are still there, All'attempts to fnduce them to go peacrably lave so far failed, and the man won’t go out of the house El all for fear the door will be closed on him ndefinitely. Mrs. Grossbeck called at polico headquarters and the mayor's office vester- ny afternoon for mid in getting rid of tho urden thrust on them. She says Mr. Gross- ck 15 @ comsumptive, and too weak nysically to throw Gireenawalt out. She ap- lied to the county commissioners this morn- ug to get passes for the famity out of town, orget them admission tothe poor farm, but the commissioners refused to do anything in the matter. Mayor Graham instructed Mar- shal Melick to have the man arrested for vagrancy, and then get, rid of the balance of the fawily by strategy. Itis & queer case, sud ono that has puzled the authorities. DISTRICT COURT DOINGS, Judge Field is engaged today in hearing the case of W. J. MeGillin vs the Kit Carter cattle company, C. H. Gould and several other parties. “Chis is an injunction case to revent the Union Savings bank of this city tom turning overto the Kit Carter cattlo company some $20,000 it now holds. The case 1s an old one, or rather the outgrowthof an old ono between the Carter and the Harlem fnulo companies over debts - due from the atter to the former. It was fought ont m the courts several times, but keeps bobbing up occasionally. E. M. McGiliin had adver- tised a sale to take place at the faiv grounds of a lot of cattle, but the sale was stopped by an attachment gotten out by the cattle com- pany. Finallyit was agreed to allow tho sule to proceed, the proceeds to b deposited in the Union Savings bank pending the liti- gution, Before the attaciment case came up . J. MoGillin, who claims to have an inter- est in the proceeds, secured the injunction, and C. H. Gould. who had a mortgage on the cattle, comes in as an interested party, In the replovin case of McCall vs, Mrs, Isard tried yesterday, the jury returned a verdigt giving plaintii? the possession of tie animal and foading bim up with 1 cent dam- ages. Judgo Chapman will be down Monday and ronder decisions in all cases he now has under advisement and close up his connection with tho Lancaster county district court. The motion docket will be called tomorrow morning at :30 o'clock. The jury has been tischarged until Monday. 1 tho injunction case brought by Mrs. M, . Bond to restrain Paul F. Clark Trom eject- Ing her from the hotel that bears her name, the defendant flled an aftidavit today in which he denies Mrs, Bond's statement that she had never been notifiea that the property was to be sold under an execution. On tho contrary, Mr. Clark asserts that she was fre- quently hotified, aud came to his office sev- eral times about tho matter. Tho first timo she agreed to settlo the claim, but the next time told defendant he eould hot collect any- thing from her nor could e find any bidders on the hotel property. He denies that there was auy fraud or collusion 1n_tho matter, no offort mado to conceal their actions, and avers that the hotel is not worth a dollar above incumbrances, and nothing could be collected otherwise, A YOUNG DIAMOND THIEF. Clyde Newell, a youth who has been in the hands of the police a half dozen times in tho pust yoar for various misdemeanor, Wis rought to the station this moruing by Pat Bwift, who charges the boy with the larceny of a diamond rng valued at$125. The ring was lost in a curious manner. Just two weeks ago Mr. Swift took off the ring while ho wasned his hands at the Capital hotel. While rforming his ablutions he laid the ring Bown on tho marblo wash stand aud whon ho bad finished walked off without thinking of bis sparkler. A few minutes afterwards be remombered bis ring, but when he went after it it was not thero. No trace of the ring could be found and Pat_had about made o his wina to give it up for lost when he learned that young Newell had confided toa companion thiat ho had the ring. This mora- ing he ran across the boy and brought him o tho station, The boy deul s any knowledgo of the ring und it was not found on him. The r.uw believe, however, that ko knows where tis aud will try to find out. Amoug his Blfects were three skeleoton leeys and Deteok ive Malone will try them on a door which was mysteriously openod the other evouing, NO ATD YOR THR POOR. The county eomnissionors have informed Acting Health Oificor Rhoda that the fund for the poor relief was exhausted and here- after they should refuse to pay any claims for relief, give any or or furnish any nsportation until the levy for this year comes available. The oity, under direction of Mayor Graham, has devoted a great deal of money toaid the needy poov, and many a poor family have reason 10 thank that genitle- man for aid. The commissicners seem 1o bo laboring under an impression that it is the city's duty to taks care of its own poor, for- «etting the fact that the taxpayers of Lincoln Jay thelr proportion Into the county treasu:y for tlhn( purpose, and the city has no poor fund. TRAT TG TIE BT MUSCL Hon, Philip Andres, for years president and fostructor of the Omaha taroverem, one of tho bast ciasses of gymuasts in the coun- try, has been making endeayors since _his state position has brought him permanertly 10 the stato house to introduce calisthenics i the Lincoin schools, Mr. Andres in the mo- ments be could spare from his duties as a state official, has been drilling about eighty 100l chiluren fn club swingng, waud exer- es, calisthenics and marehing. He has lso 'beem giving instruction in these samo exercises to about twenty-two teachers, amoug_which are a majority of tho princi: pals. Mr. Andres has done this work free of cost and for his love of gymnasties and his wish to have the American as well as tho German ehildren liava the advantago of phy- sical culture. He hopes that by drilling the teachers thoy will follow the exam ple of _the teachers in nearly every large city by giviug instructions in calisthenics, The {eachers are drilled Mondays and Wednesdays and the children Tuesdays and Frid These drills occur at 5 p. m. at Harmon! hall. On Monday evening a public exbibition will bo given at that hall by the children who have been under M. Andres’ instruction. DDA AND ENDS, Thoovals of the present system of appoint- ing members of the board of registration by the council were demonstrated this movuing when the boards organized. In one instance oneof the men appointed was o candida one of the tickets, while in several other in- stances the appointees did not reside in tho ward for which they were appointed, Mayor Gralam had to straighiton out the fangle at the expense of 10ss of time and patien ¥red Biger, who is charged with nssault with intent to kil Peter Benson, will have his trial before Judge Houston at 4 o'clock to- day. NO DANGER AHEAD, Opinfons of Army Ofiic ~rs on the Sitn- ation at Pine Ridge, “There is but little new about the situa- tionat Pine Ridge,” sud Colonel GuyV. Honry, “‘Everything is quiet and will remain so unless some meddlesome and selfish peaple take a notion to inaugurate a disturb- ance. The Inaians will not fight and do not utto fight so long as they are proverly ted. re are people up in that conntry, how- ever, wholike to seo a disturbance and liketo Eave several companies of soldiers stationed there. All this creates a demand for freight- ing by team across the country and a demand for wood and hay and corn and the govern- foots the bill, here are people in Rushville who would have been obliged to ask for uid last wintor had it not been for the worl they got through the Indian campaign. But I do not think such o method will bo resorted to for the purpose of creating another disturbauce.’! Speaking of the snow up 1 _that country, Colonel Henry said: ““The drilts are teu feot deep in many places, and when it begius to melt the whole country will be like a bog. There has not, been 0 much snow up there at any one time before in ten years as thero is right now.” “A group of officers, ranging mn rank from a colonel of cavalry aown to o leutenant of infantry, were seated lu the rotunda of the Paxton” 'discussing the probabilities of an- other uprising of the Sioux 1 the spring. A major of cavalry, in response to a query, said: “Some roports ve come to us about the danger of tho friendly Indians joining he hostile Sioux inthe spring. S0 many things oy happen between now and spring in the Indian question that itis hard to form any definito opinion on the Tudian question.”” A lieutenant recently returned from Pine Ridge said: _*Considerable of this agitation comes from civilisus who would be benefited financially by another camvaign. A great many of the reports from the agency originate and are sentout to the country at largo by people who would be the gainers by having @ large body of troops in the vicinity. No, I do not think there will be a fresh out- break.” Al of the officers spoken to in regard to the matter are in favor of military agents in- stead of civilians, General Miles ft is claimed had ahard fight with the authorities at Washington to got a. few army officers appointed as supervisors of the reservations after tho aftair at Wounded Knee. These appointments are only temporary as the orders stand now and civii- ians are liable to be appointed at almost any time to take the place of the military agents. “Tho duty of the army officers now in charge of the agencics is to see that rations and clothing are properly issued, Tf army officers acted as agents the reports, it s claimed, of disturbances of any kind would be far more relisble. There would be nohatf founded rumors from badly fright- ened agents and others connected with the agency. Itis reported that Frank Roric, the govern- ment scout, employed at the agency has said that in his opinion there will be no out- break. Tpe Indians seem to have had enough of it for the time atleastand many of the former hostiles ave reported as having packed up their tepees and struclk out for the Bills “Saytug, Iiko Sunding Boar id, that fighting wasn't in their line, dudtinisidlen sl ON FORT CROOK. Work Will Soon Be Commenced and FPushed. “fL 1s quito probable” sail Colonel Hughes, chiet quartermaster of the depart- ment of the Platte, to a Bee reporter last night at the Paxton, “that work upon Fort Crook, tobe built at Believue, will bo begun in a short time. The indications are that consideradle work will be done upon the new fort the coming summer. The topographical maps, giving the location of the barracks and officors’ quarters, as the location committee saw fit to recommend, have been forwarded o Washungton for approval’’ “How far will the present appropriation of $300,000 probably carry the work of building the fort!" 4O, it will probably complete sbout halt the work contemplated. Itisto o & tea or twelve company post, and will no doubt be one of the best in tihe country when fin- ished.” A Thieving € Minnie Hayes, a resident of the burnt dis- trict, was arrosted atnoon yesterday by De- toetive Hayes and charged with grand larceny.

She gave the pin to her lover, a man named Moso Banks, who lives i Coun- cil Bluffs, The dotectives recovered tho pin from Banks. N St To Recommend for Judges.

HINTON TELLS HIS PLAN. How tho Axtesian Inquiry Will Be Oarried on Next Summer. INTERESTS THE ENTIRE NORTHWEST, Hunting the Waters of the Missouri Lostin the Earts and Bringing it to the Surface for Trrigation. Colonel Richard J. Hinton of Washington and Prof. Robert Hay of Kansas wore guests atthe Paxton yesterday, where they wero found by & representative of Tur Br, In answer to questions concerning the scope of the work In which they aro engaged, and tho extent of their preparation for the summer campaign, Colonel Hinton said: “I am in charge of the special irrigation in- quiry now under way and came here to confer with the feld staff engaged in the artesian iv vestigation. The pubiic will recall that, undor the demand of the Dakota senators at tho first session of the last con- gress, ana after discussion with Major Powell of the weological survey, congress appropriated £0,000 for an inquiry’ futo the artesian basin with o view to its use for irri- gation. Under that provision field work was 0 begin April 20 and be coneludea July 1 accomplished 1800. The work was under the supervision of Colonel E. S. Nettleton as chief engineer and Prof. Robert Hay as chief geologist. I was piven charge of vhe matter at tho Washington of- fice and received the reports from the fleld. Quite alargo report was made, of which so competent an authority as the Engneer- ing News said: ‘It is the best report and, in fact, the only one made by thisor any other government ou the subject.’ ““Doward tho close of the session of con- gress acontinuation of the work was de cided upon anmd $40,00 appropriated for the purpose. The same adverse influences which limited the time of the first inquiry added another limit to_the second, and stipu- lsted that 1t should be finished by July 1, 1891 The scope of the inquiry was consider- ably extended, however, and “iucluded an in- vestigation of the underflow, orearth waters held in the porous strata within convenient distaxce of the surfa 1t also provided for a genoral inquiry into the cultivation of “the soil by irrigation. Messrs, Nettleton and Hay wero reappointed as fiold chiefs and T was agun given charge of the worl 1n the office, under the superyision of Mr. Willetts, assistant secretary of agri- culture, In the closing'hours of the session s extonded the time of the inquiry to y 1, 150, and also added an approp: tion of $10,000 for the gencral irrigation n- iry. This Is ayailablo for the fiscal year inning June 1, and is the first of an annual appropriation for this purpose. “During my present trip L have visited Dakota and Nebraska first, with a viewto ful- filling engagements to address agricltural colleges, and next to_confer with Messts. Nettloton and Hay s to fature work. I have held atwo days’ session at Lincoln with these gentlemen and Profs. Hicks of the N sraska university and_Cuiver of the South Dalcota university. We decided that the larger portion of the time available for the inquiry could be most profitably expended fn Nebraska, tho Dakotas and eastern Mon- tana. During the winter the field force has been at work in the southyest. “In the northwest—that is, n Nebraska and states to the north of it—there are sover- al very interesting problems to be solved. Without aiming at a deliberate conclusion, tho ofticers of the inquiry are led to believe that the principal work will be to discover and re- store the water lost by seepage—by the ab- sorption of the rainfall by tho soil. This branch of the inquiry involves a study of hy- drography less than one of topography, The mountuns divice the rainfall and_tho soil absorbs it. In Nebraska Prof, Hicks will mako o special study of local features, In Dakota tho first effort will be to Tocate the western lino of Dakota sandstone. This work will be principally by Prof. Culver, Examination will also - bo made to determino the eastern rim of this formation and thus lo- cate the boundaries of tho water plain. “Thero will also be an examination to deter- mine the character and value of the Red trwm‘ vasin, of which Prof. Hay will havo charge. Colonel Nettleton will make a survey of the James river and Devil's lake similar to those made inthe valleysof tho North Platte and Arkansas rivers for the purpose of finding the water level from which the artesian flow is derived. Nettle- ton, with Hay, will also have special char, of the drainage region in North Dakota trib- utary to the Turtle mountains, of which Devil's lakeis the central outlet. Colonel Nettloton will also make a personal recon- noissance through North Dakota with a view to ascertaining what system of surface irri- gation is feasible in connection with the Missouri. Kastern Montana will come in for a considerable share of attention. “Tt is believed that in the valleys of the Yellowstone and Milk underground water and some artesian flow will be found. But the larger portion of that region will proba- bly bereclaimed by surface water and stor- age reservoirs, The report on this subject will be as full as time will permit. A special_inquiry will also at Great Falls, Mont., to ascertaioing the statements concerning the disappear- ance of a large part of the flow of the Missouri above the falls, The Hayden expedition measured the flow and found it more above than below the falls. The Da- kota sandstone crops ‘upin great abundance thére, If theso statements aro confirmed it will have great effect in deciding the extent and permanence of the artesian basin of Daiota, because if the western line follows the foothills, then the precipitation is ab- sorbed by the porous stratum and supplies the Dakota basin. ““How euormous this basin of earth waters may be can be graphically illustrated bya statement of this character: Licutenant Morey, a good authority, estimates the entiro precipitation of the whole Mississippi basin at 620 cubic miles per_anoum, The outflow at tho gulf is 107 cubio miles. Tho evapora- tion does not exceed 30 per cent. Of this vast total precipitation it s cstimated that tho Missourl river aboyve Omaha receives 300 cubic miles, Bu, 15 per cent as far as tie river is_concerned, Hows out at its junction with the Mississippi, Tt is moderate to say that 55 per cent1s lost in the earth. Our aimis % locate these earth waters, “‘Colonel Nettleton will mako plans for at least two experiment. stations, at Aberdeen be made with a view correctness of aud Huron, S D. The dopartment has been offered tree wells and lands for tho purpose, mad citi- zens will pay for the construction. The department will_morely furnish its ex- perience and skiil. The idea is to make a model irrigated farm. We have been asked to make similar arrangements in Nebraska. We should be delighted to_experiment with the undertlow in some of your streams. “I will give it @s my personal opinion, which must not bo mustaken for an offici utterance, that we shall ultimately demon. strate that the average farmer on the great plains will find water enough on 160 acre tract to lrrigate from y-five to forty acres and thus secure it aganst loss by drouth or hot winds, He will find water easily accessiblo right be- neath his feot and capable of distribution by simplo means. Then will come tho day of small and prosporous farma. If this hops s not realized we shall at least accomplish re- sults that will be vustly beneficial. We are trywg to bridge over the gap between the surface water and the lands that cannot be irrigated by that system.” Professor Hay smid the work done during the winter in western Nebraska and Kansas and eastern Colorado, by the engineers and geologists, would show ihe relative level of water underlying the high plains and _that found in the Fiver valleys. This will deter- mine the cost of putting it upon the surface. It will also result ina description of the water-bearing strata that will enable it to be recognized by the occupiers of the land, and thus prevent unnecessary and costly ex- periments in regions where the succession of rocks is definitely known. *“The nee of the investigators in these reaions,”’ said Prof. Hay, “*has caused an - teusification of public int and encour- aged the people wonderfu 10 roports of the department are anxiously awaited wd such us have already been issued aro widely read.” This is the first complete statement of the scopo and charactor of the investigation that has been made public. 1v will deeply inter- est the people of Kunsus, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana and the Dakotas. $2.00 $4.00 7.50 OMAHA., BLACK HILLS BUSINE Grocer Adams Thinks the Hard Times Are About Ended.

He Made Something Out of Nothing Most Remarkably, A couple of weeks ago A. B. batton, man- ager of & suit club scheme, silently folded lis tent and stole away. Since then it has transpired tnat several of the club members have been anxiously lookiug for the missing Dutton. In connectlon with Dutton, Mr. J. McVean, the Omaha representative of Wanawmaker & Brown of Philadelphia was soon last night by & Bre reporter and made this statement “Dutton_came t0 me some timo last Sep tember and proposed & partnership with mo in the suit club business, I declined bis proposition, but rented him @esk room in my ofice. Theu he made arrmngements with l me to accopt bis orders for sulls, which of Continental Clothing House. Prudent buyers cannot afford to spend one dollar for any article of clothing, until they have secen some of the bargain lines in Men’s Suits, Spring Overcoats and Boys’ and Children’s Clothing. We are having the largest sale in Children’s Suits ever held in Omaha. We will sell this week: MEN'S SUITS, The biggest value ever shown in the city is our All Wool Argyle Cheviot, at $7. samples in our show window, elegantly made and trimmed at $7 each; all sizes. a sample of this cloth to any address.

Hehad the elub lists tacked up on the wall here and held the drawings three times a week. The clab members seldom attended these drawings, though sometimes threo or four would bo here. Of course when Dutton had eight clubs in full blast that was a weekly incomo to him of &40, and if the business had been rua on the square, would nave been a weekly outlay of the same amount, less the commis- sion ‘paid him by the tailor making tho clothing. “But1 know it tobe a fact that the dra ings were nov always straight. As a geneval thing only two or threc members of tho cight club3 would draw svits. For instance, it Johu Smith of club 7 drew a suit and Smith was not present Dutton would claim to the members present, that Smith was be- hind in his payments, and consequently his drawing did not count. *“Wien inducinga person to join Dutton would represent that it aid not make any difference about paying cach weok as they could pay upa month or more at s time. “On 0 830 suit Dutton always expected to malke from # to §10of course at the- expense of the person drawing the suit. Dutton also claimed to pocket corsiderable money from lapses, that is from members paying a few dollars and then dropping oat. No sir, a suit club cannot run on the square and make any mouey."” Whion Mr. McVean discoverod that Dutton was not_straight he order him outof his place. Dutton then enguged desk room i an office in the Brown bullding, room 312, After this Dutton took his_trade to Frank Barrett & Co., 815 South Fifteenth street.
